I like the Red Sox. I don't like the Yankees. I used to really hae baseball but now I am wicked addicted. Johnny Damo is a traitor.
These are my thoughts on the 2006 season and maybe a few other things.
I like beer too. It is yummy.
GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday, June 30

The boys got back into the groove yesterday afternoon with a nice win. The offense was highlighted by back to back homeruns in the 6th. Mirabelli had a two run shot and Bellhorn had a solo shot. That was all the boys needed to wrap up the win.Wakefield has definitely gotten back into his grove and had another nice outing yesterday. My nerves, as I am sure was the rest of Red Sox nation, were a little edgey when he left the game and the pen took over. Manatei was a little rocky but got through a whole inning without any trouble. Timlin came in as the closer. The Tribe managed to get the game-tieing run to the plate in the 9th but couldn't do anything about it.Foulke made some comments about how he wasn't worried about what the random fan who works at Burger King felt after he blew the loss. He was more worried about his teammates. Dirt Dogs had a field day with that which was quite funny.Schilling had a rehab start in some tiny stadium in Charlotte and had a great day. The NESN guys were preparing everyone for him to give up a homer or two because of the park but he only gave up one run. He looked great and everyone was very excited. If his next Rehab start goes well sounds like he might pitch in Baltimore against the O's next weekend.A week from today I get to see the Sox play the O's. Hooorrray.Off day today then tomorrow night soon-to-be-allstar Clement pitches against the Blue Bird People.Zach has a great blog. Today was at least the second time that he has made me laugh out loud with his made up conversations between various Sox players and managers. Today there is a great conversation between Theo and Foulke. Funny stuff.

I AM SO FLIPPING PISSED IT AIN'T EVEN FUNNY. WHAT HAVE I BEEN SAYING FOR A COUPLE WEEKS NOW, EVEN WHEN THE BOY WERE WINNING? I WAS SAYING THAT OUR BULLPEN IS SUSPECT AND NOT VERY GOOD. THEY SHOWED THAT WITH FLYING F'ING COLORS TONIGHT.IT IS TIME FOR THEO TO GET TO WORK AND SEE WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE. WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE IN THE BULLPEN WHO CAN HOLD A LEAD AT ALL. HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO WIN IN THE PLAYOFFS IF YOU CAN'T HOLD A GODDAMN LEAD.FIRST IT WAS TIMLIN THEN IT WAS FOULKE.FOULKE IS COOKED. HE IS NOT GOOD. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE STUFF HE USED TO. GET RID OF HIM. I'M OVER HIM. CAN YOU TELL I AM A LITTLE WORKED UP BY THIS? WELL I AM!

The boys looked like they were going to get back to their winning form. After falling behing 4-1 the boys got two runs in the 5th to make it 4-3. The Tribe got another run in the top of the 6th to make it 5-3. In the bottom of the 6th the Sox exploded for 5 runs to take and 8-5 lead. Lot's of people did good things. Damon had a big hit as did Manny and Pappi. It was a nice inning and it felt like we had gotten the grove back. Wade Miller did not pitch great but he kept it close. BUT THEN OUR DAMN BULLPEN TOOK OVER. AND GUESS WHAT? WE LOST! TIMLIN LEFT THE GAME WITH MEN ON BASE AND FOULKE F'ED UP THE REST. TIMLIN'S TWO MEN HE LEFT SCORED IN THE 8TH TO MAKE IT 7-8. TOP OF THE NINTH WE GO WITH THE SOX UP ONE.FIRST GUY GETS OUT. THEN THE NEXT GUY GETS A DOUBLE THAT BELLHORN HAD A CHANCE ON AFTER A GREAT THROW FROM MANNY. OK I'LL GET OVER THAT. THEN THERE WAS A FLYOUT TOO CENTER. TWO OUTS MAN ON SECOND, SOX STILL HAVE A ONE RUN LEAD. THEN THE GAME IS TIED AFTER A SINGLE. STILL TWO OUTS AND A RUNNER ON FIRST, GAME TIED. THEN THERE ARE TWO WALKS TO LOAD THE BASES. TWO WALKS BY YOUR CLOSER IS SO NOT OK!GUESS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE BASES ARE LOADED. JUST GUESS! COME ON, I BET YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT.THAT'S RIGHT, FOULKE GIVES UP A GRAND SLAM. GAME OVER, FENWAY ANGRY.FOULKE IS DONE, HE HAS LOOKE GOOD A FEW TIMES THIS SEASON BUT HAS NOT KEPT US IN MANY CLOSE GAMES.OUR BULLPEN NEEDS SERIOUS HELP IF WE REALLY EXPECT TO MAKE ANOTHER RUN.I'M ANGRY.

Day game tomorrow. So I'll be able to watch at work. Yeah for that.Hopefully it's not close and we won't need the bullpen. Most likely they'll give it up for us. Time to make some changes Theo.

If anyone out there lives in Philadelphia and sees the Red Sox wandering around let me know. I think they all missed the flight back to Boston and the game last night was played by people who just looked like the Red Sox. The fact that the person who was playing the role of Johnny Damon had no beard was a dead give away.I packed while I watched last nights game and it was not pretty. After knocking the crap out of the ball for a while we managed three hits and no runs last night. Not so good.The defense was what really let us down though. It all started when the actor playing Mark Bellhorn missed dropped the beginning of a double play ball and let it role into the outfield. Two runs scored on that play. Instead of ending the inning with no runs the Tribe scored three runs that inning. Later in the game the actor playing Trot Nixon (kudos to the wardrobe department for even giving that man the right sweat-stained hat) had a fly ball in deep right bounce off the tip of his glove and over the wall for a two run homerun. That actor should have caught the ball.The actor playing cornrow boy didn't pitch a bad game, he just got no help what so ever. His command was also not nearly as good as the real cornrow boy and he gave up a few walks.According to the Globe the real Sox team has been located in Philly and will be flown back this morning for tonight's game.Thanks to the actors who played last nights game. It was a nice effort.

Was away for a while (I've been doing that a lot lately) so I missed a few more games. It's gonna be a hectic couple of weeks with this whole moving thing so that might happen again.So here's what I missed.

SUNDAY BOSTON 12 (44-30) WON 7 PHILLIES 8 (39-37)

I actually got home from a little trip in time to watch some of this game. I heard some score updates on the radio and the Sox were up 8-1. I figured another easy win was on the way. Then I get home and turn the thing on and it is 8-5 with the bases loaded. Embree and Timlin seemed to be doing there best to give the thing away. Do I sense a bit of a repeating pattern? The Phillies tie it up at 8 and I figure oh no, another game blown by the pen. But the offense got back to work and after a nice bunt by Damon, a long shot by Bellhorn, a infield single by Ortiz, some great hustle by Trot and a two run shot by Tek the sox were back on top 12-8. I was thrilled. I love the fact that the boys shook off blowing the big lead and came back and just took it back. That is great. The Sox have now won 7 in a row and 12 of the last 13. That is damn good. Damn good.Manny had a grand slam earlier in the day to bring his career total to 19. That ties him for second all time. That's pretty cool. Love them dreads.While I spent quite a bit of time stuck in traffic on the GW yesterday I listened to Yankee's talk radio. I love hearing Yankee fans so mad about their team. Many people have all but given up hope on them making the playoffs this year. I think it might be a little early for that but it is a nice thought. I like that the Yankees are such a disaster at the moment. The D-Rays won 3 or 4 at the stadium last week and the Mets won 2 of 3 in the Bronx as well. Now that's cool.We moved into first over the weekend as the O's have lost 5 in a row. We're now 2.5 games ahead of the O's and 6.5 in front of the Yanks. That's very cool.

SATURDAY BOSTON 7 (43-30) WON 6 PHILLIES 1 (39-36)

Matt Clement is the man. That's really all there is too say.Another great pitching performance and another day of hot bats.YippeeeFRIDAY BOSTON 8 (42-30) WON 5PHILLIES 0 (39-35)

Maybe that whole thing about Wakefield really needing Mirrabelli to pitch well was the truth. He was rocking in this game and the Phillies only got three hits all night. Homers by Manny, Pappi, and Mirrabelli made it even better.WEDNESDAY BOSTON 5 (41-30) WON 4CLEVELAND 4 (37-33) The Sox got some spunk. They fell behind late in the game but put together a nice rally to come back for the win. Payton started it all off in the ninth and scored the winning runOlder-Dude (great nickname from Jere) was 3-4 with his first homer as a Red Sox.Hooray. Ain't winning fun?

Wednesday, June 22

The boys from Boston are definitely in a bit of a groove at the moment. That is a good thing, a very good thing. Like I have said before, winning is your friend. The game last night was never really in doubt. When I turned it on the boys were up 3-0 in part because of a Big Pappi 2 run homer. He added another solo shot later in the game and his good buddy Manny also added some insurance runs later in the game. Cornrow Boy looked good last night and the only run he gave up was on a wild pitch. I am still holding my judgment on the bullpen. Halama came in for an inning of work and managed to load the bases and give up a run. I still feel that Theo needs to think about making some changes in the bullpen and bringing in some new folks. But that's just my two cents. On the Yankee front the damn Devil Rays lived up to their status as the worst team in baseball last night. The Rays were up 10-2 in the 4th after roughing up Randy "good god I'm tall" Johnson for lot's of runs. Final score 20-11 YANKESS. How could you lose that lead? How could you lose that lead and get BLOWN out. Ohh wait, the Devil Rays suck. The damn yankees scored 12 runs in the 8th inning including four homers. That's not so good. It has to be pretty tough to play for a team like the Devil Rays when you suck that bad. The players must want to win but they just keep losing. That's got to be pretty frustrating. I kinda doubt that being a Devil Ray fan is that fun. Being a Sox fan is fun though! GO RED SOX!

Tuesday, June 21

Damon was key last night (AP Photo)Lot's of stuff going on in life these days so I have let the poor blog go by the wayside a bit. Sorry about that. In very exciting news I am leaving Yankee Lover town and moving to the DC area! I got a new job at a theater in Arlington VA and will be moving on July 5. Even more exciting then that is that on July 7 I am going to see a Orioles/Red Sox game. YEAH! So the games I missed

BOSTON 10 (39-30) WON 2 CLEVELAND 9 (37-31)

Theo needs to kick some SERIOUS ass when it comes to the bullpen. I (the man of not a ton of baseball experience) thinks that the stupid bullpen needs some serious help. The lame commentators from FSH Ohio gave a pretty good stat last night. In games when the starting pitcher has a "quality" start we have a record of like 31-5. When they don't have a quality record we are like 6-25. That basically says our bullpen SUCKS. Yes we won last night, but it felt like a loss. We blew a 9-4 lead but that's to Johnny Damon and his hair we were able to pull it out. Manny and Tek both had three run homers. Damon got the tenth and winning run with a solo shot. Embree and Foulke made pitching look really hard as they let the Indian's right back into the game. I was yelling very loud. I was pissed. The Bullpen needs to get it together. Wells pitched ok. He got the W but was definitely not as in control as we was last week. We are now 9 games over .500 and only 2 games behind the O's. In Yankee news they ended their latest win streak by losing at home to the crappy Devil Rays. Now that's funny. They say that Schillin is improving and might be a few weeks away from his return. That would be pretty nice.PITTSBURGH 0 (31-36) BOSTON 8 (38-30) WON 1

A wacky lineup won a game with a decent amount of offense. Matt Clement pitched another great game. He has been a great pickup to say the least. Ortiz and Payton provided some good offense. Missed this one, I was at the museum. I haven't watched enough Sox ball lately.

PITTSBURGH 2 (31-35) BOSTON 0 (37-30) LOST 1

For the first time this season the Sox were shut out. It was the night of the men-left-on-base. We left 11. I watched parts of the game. At one point Payton lead off with a double and then got to third with somebody else on second. No outs. He didn't score. That ain't so good.

PITTSBURGH 5 (31-34) BOSTON 6 (37-29) WON 5

Tek won this game with a great block at the plate. It was great.I like 5 game win streaks.

Thursday, June 16

This week the Red Sox pitching is looking very good. Cornrow Boy (who is now Cornrow less) pitched a very nice game striking out 8 guys from Cincy. Some good hitting to go a long with it.I like winning.The Pirates come to town this weekend after getting swept by the Yankees. Hopefully we can do that same thing.Today is an off day. Maybe tomorrow I will write about something random and fun.GO RED SOX!

Wednesday, June 15

David Wells looked frickin great last night. He threw a one hit game. The Reds had no answer for him what-so-ever. He was in complete control of his game. It was great. I wish he would do that every week. The bats defitnely like being back at Fenway. Manny hit a HR, Damon had a couple RBI's as did Bill Mueller.I saw parts of the game but not all. I did happen to tune in when they were converting scoring opportunities. It was fun. I like winning three in a row, they should do that more often.I missed parts of the game because I was watching The Deadliest Catch on Discovery. Crab fishing is pretty cool. I wish I could go do that. Nothing like freezing your ass off and catching thousands of tons of crab in Alaska. I would like to go to Alaska although I bet it would pretty hard to keep up with the Sox there. I bet you get pretty damn wet being a crab fisherman.What if Manny or Big Pappi were crab fisherman? Now that would be funny. Manny would probably have to lose the dreads, they would get covered in ice and what not. I bet Wakefield and Millar would fit right in, probably Trot too. Wells probably wouldn't make it too long, he would get fired for eating the crab. Damon would probably get his hair caught in all the machinery. That could get ugly.I bet Wally and the NESN guys would do a stellar job being the captains. They could sit up there and pretend they are calling a game. "Big Pappi steps up to the loader, he is 3-10 this week on good crab pots. Not his best Average. "I'm funny.

Tuesday, June 14

A great return to Fenway for the Sox and they kicked the crap out of the Reds. I need to learn not to get so worried about the Sox. It is still very early in the season and even after the troubles that we have had we are only three games back in the division. We have also played more road games then anyone else in the league. We could easily be in first by the time the All Star break comes around. Hopefully by then we'll get Schill back and he'll be in prime form. Other then a few bumpy parts the pitching this season really hasn't been that bad. Clement has been a great pick up and Miller is holding his own as well.We had 16 hits last night and the game was only close for the first two innings. Manny hit a three run shot that broke it open. Clement pitched well to get back in the win column.I missed the game though, I was getting a sleep study. Let me tell you how much fun that is. You go to this clinic and sleep in a room that is kinda like a hotel room. The only difference that you have something like 25 sensors attached to you with wires coming off of all of them. Plus you got a little oxygen thing shoved up your nose. They told me I could move around but I could just picture rolling on my side and getting all caught up in the wires. Needless to say I didn't get a ton of sleep. My wonderful fiance was nice enough to call me with updates.If they say I have sleep apnea I am supposed to sleep in one of these. You got to be kidding me. It has been almost a week since I actually got to watch a Sox game. Hopefully that will change tonight.GO RED SOX!

Monday, June 13

So I went out of town for a few days. Back up to my old summer stomping ground of Williamstown Mass to help them get the season up and running. Little sad i won't be there this summer but it should give me more time to follow the Sox. That's for sure. If you ever in the Berkshires and want to see some good theater go to WTF.

I have a lot of things to be done today so I don't really have the time to go into my normal detail. I'll get back to that tomorrow.A quick summary of what I've missed.The boys won the last game at St. Louis as David Wells pitched a great game. They won 4-o. There was a three hour rain delay and the game didn't actually start till wicked late. Thursday was a day off.Friday was an afternoon game in Chicago where the boys got rocked. It was not pretty. I was moving big heavy things all over the place so I missed this one as well.Saturday we lost a close one 7-6.Last night we won the series finale as Wakefield returned to his normal self and pitched a great game. Youk got a nice home run (his first of the year). Wakefield did great at the plate. I think he had two singles and scored a run with a sliding play at home. Very nice.This week it's more interleauge play with the Reds and Pirates coming to Fenway.Tonight I am having a sleep study. That should provide for some serious entertainment tomorrow.

Wednesday, June 8

See yesterdays post, repeat that and you have last nights game. Clement got his first loss of the season in another ass-kicking at the hands of the cardinals. They are definitely trying to get there revenge from their Series sweep. Sadly I don't have any bright comments to say about the game. I need to learn to be more positve. Jere is much better at that. He's a pretty happy go lucky guy.Went to the Mets game last night and saw Pedro pitch a hell of a game. The Met fans sure have grown to love Pedro, that's for sure. It was a nice night at the ball park. Trisha got us great tickets and we sat next to some nice Mets fans. Trisha was cheering loudly for the Astros and no one even gave her a hard time, that would never happen at that place in the Bronx. Kept a scorecard for the first time in my life. It was pretty fun. Pedro even got a hit, the smile on his face when he got to first was HUGE. He even ended up scoring. I was saying that I bet Pedro had no clue what is was like to be on Third base. He had a nice game last night. I know he had his diva moments but I wouldn't mind if he was still playing for the Sox.Yanks lost again. Someone is gonna get canned in the Bronx real soon.Sox look to avoid the sweep tonight then get a day off.GO RED SOX!

Tuesday, June 7

The played better defense, they hit the ball, they ran the bases well, and they had great pitching. We just plain got beat last night. 4 hits against the Cardinals ain't gonna win you any games.Renteria had a pretty awful night in his return to St Louis. 0-4 hitting into tow double plays and he had an error in the 8th that ended up costing two runs.Wakefield lost again. He didn't pitch terribly but he didn't pitch great. He also had no run support at all.Stat of the day. The Sox are 17-18 against teams with winning records. I don't think that is very good.The Yankess lost again and are back below .500

Monday, June 6

A good all around game. I saw parts of it, but not all of it. Have I ever told you how cool DVR picture in picutre is. I had NASCAR (yes I like to watch the cars drive around really fast)in one window and the Sox game in another. Switching back and forth was easy and I was able to keep track of both. Yeah for me. Miller pitched a good game. Got through almost seven innings and gave up three hits. He left with the game tied at three. After the horrible afternoon the bullpen had the day before I think everyone was a little nervous about this one. Our worries were for not though as Myers, Timlin, and Foulke finished off the game nicely allowing only 1 hit and no walks. The offense sealed the game with a three run seventh capped off by a Big Pappi double that drove in two. The Queer Eye guys threw out the first pitch and that seems to have bothered some folks. Get over it is what I have to say about that. One girl was complaining in the Globe that some Yankee fans were making fun of her about it. First off that sounds like the typical meat head Yankee fan and secondly I think the Yankee fans should be worrying about their team winning some games. They seem to be having a hard time with that these days. HA HA. They suck.

SATURDAYS GAMELA Angels 13 (32-23)Red Sox 6 (30-25) LOST 1

Various bullpen pitchers gave up 11 runs including 6 in the bottom of the ninth. That pretty much sums it up.Kevin Millar had a lovely day though hitting two homeruns.Didn't get to see the game though. I live in NYC, I got to watch the Mets. Bummer.

FRIDAYS GAMELA Angels 4 (31-23)Red Sox 7 (30-24) WON 2

I missed this game so I could drink some booze. A pretty valid excuse if you ask me. I saw the score at one point and the boys were down 4-1 so I figured we were going to continue our win one lose one process. But then later I saw the winning score. It was very nice. Damon had the clutch hit that sealed the deal. Winning is fun. Losing is not. The Yankees keep losing though and that is VERY fun.

A GREAT photo of from the Boston Gobe (Jim Davis) after Ortiz hit his walk off HR

BALTIMORE 4 (32-21)BOSTON 6 (29-24) WON 1

Why is it that all of these exciting afternoon games that end in game ending walk off HR's by the Sox are the one's I don't get to watch? I have watched a lot of the games this year but I have missed all three afternoon games that have ended in Fenway Mayhem and Man Love for various reasons. That kinda makes me a little sad. I guess my time will come.Anyway, it was another great battle between the Sox and the O's yesterday. When I got back from Softball the Sox were up 3-1 in the 7th and Clement was still pitching. After the 7th it was 3-3. Foulke game in late in the 8th and pitched in the ninth. He loaded the bases with one out but only gave up one run. Bottom of the ninth Sox down 4-3.Damon flew to center for the first out. Mark "sometimes I really can't hit but often in the clutch I get a hit" Bellhorn got a single up the middle. Youk (who started the game and batted first) struck out swinging. Rentereia comes to the plate with two down. Every expects him to be swinging for the roof. First ptich comes in...he bunts. No one is expecting that at all and he makes it to first base easily. Two on, Ortiz comes to the plate. The count goes full, Fenway is hopping (at least I imagine it was. The game was not on MLBTV yesterday so I had to settle for gameday). There is a pause, run scoring play appears on gameday. Please let it be a homerun, I mutter under my breath. There it is, the little box flips from pictures of Ortiz and Ryan to HOMERUN and flashes yellow. He did it again. What I wouldn't do to be at one of those games.A few side notes:From the pictures of the post game celebration it looks like Arroyo has gone back to the cornrow look. I think I mentioned that idea a few posts ago.LCT lost to The Lion King in softball yesterday 16-1. It was not pretty.The Yankess got swept by the Royals, THE WORST TEAM IN BASEBALL. I think I read it was there first sweep since like 1983. OUCH. I laugh at the Yankees.That is all.GO RED SOX!!!!

Thursday, June 2

My thought of the day to Theo and the Sox. This Win One Lose One crap is not going to cut it. That's my thought.Tim Wakefield is struggling as of late. That makes me sad. The old knuckle ball just doesn't seem to have the dance that it used to have. He has now lost his last four starts and his ERA in that span is 8.74. That's ugly. Last night was no exception as he got rocked for three homruns and left the game with the Sox down 7-0. Arroyo came in for a brief relief stint and didn't do so bad. Mantei gave up the two other runs.Even though we were down 7-0 we still had our chances. In the 7th we had the bases loaded with no outs. Damon hit a long shot that looked like it was going to hit the wall but a great catch was made my some bird. One run scored. Renteria made an out then Big Pappi walked to load the bases again. Manny "I love my dread" Rameriz hit a single to center that scored two runs and made it 7-3. Jay Payton came in to pinch hit and walked to load the bases yet again. The tieing run was at the plate. The only glitch was rookie catcher Kelly Shoppach was coming to the plate. You see Doug Mirrabelli is on the DL so Tek has been catching almost every game of late. Shoppach is this hot stuff rookie who came up from the PawSox to be the back up. With the score 7-0 and the Sox playing an afternoon game today Tito decided to give Tek as rest. So here we are with the bases loaded and Shoppach at the plate to tie the game. The only problem is that he has never had a hit in the majors. Everyone wishes Tek was batting. He had to of known that.So he hits a puny dribbler to the 2nd basemen for the third out. Rally over.The boys had a chance again in the 8th with men on 1st and 2nd with one out. But the inning cam to an end with a Damon pop up and a Renteria ground out.The O's lead in first place has grown to 4 games.On a brighter note the Yanks have lost two in a row to the Royals. The Royals really suck.After a four game break the boys were back on NESN last night. Those guys are funnnnyyyy. They make me laugh. They showed a funny little clip about how Timlin had gone out to where Damon ran into the wall the night before and taped out a little body outline on the fence. Very funny stuff.Afternoon game with the O's today and LCT softball.GO RED SOX!!!!

Wednesday, June 1

A good basebal game last night in many ways. Things were not looking good in the early going. Wade Miller was struggling and a lot of O's were getting on base. The good thing is that not many of them were making it to home plate. Miller kept getting into jams but kept finding a way out of them. They managed to get one run but that was it.Johnny Damon had to leave the game after the third inning. He went to make a play in the deep corner of center field and ran into the wall near the Sox bullpen very hard. He stayed in the game for the rest of that inning and seemed to be doing ok but he left the game when he went back to the dugout. I guess he had to get sticthes.Meanwhile the Sox where getting No Hit at the plate by a very tall chap named Cabrera. The fifth inning changed all that. Bill Mueller got on base after a long at bat with a walk. Mark "I don't seem to be very good at batting" Bellhorn had a rare clutch hit as he hit a nice single up the middle. This was also the first hit allowed by Cabrera. John "I don't like to wear baseball caps" Olerud came up and had a nice little RBI single to deep center to drive in Mueller. He's been a good pick up, more on that later. Edgar "I guess I really don't suck balls" Renteria got another RBI. Ortiz and Nixon also got RBI's and all the sudden it was 4-1.After that great inning Miller was in control of the game and the O's would score no more. Timlin and Myers finished off the game and it was another win for the Sox. We are hanging out in second by ourselves and are three games back of the O's.The Olerud/Millar battle at 1st base might get interesting here soon. Millar was the spokesperson for the team last year and the guy who really made the Sox personality. This year he is struggling a little bit at the plate to say the least. Olerud has come in and done very well at the plate and has made some really nice plays at first. He turned a double play last night that I'm not sure Millar would have made the play. We'll see what happens. Should be interesting.GO RED SOX!!!
